Hailed as a masterpiece upon its first appearance in Italy & winning its author international acclaim & several awards, New Finnish Grammar is anything but the laborious textbook its flat title might deceive you into thinking it. It tells the seemingly simple story of a man found on the quayside in Trieste in September 1943, having been clubbed almost to death. A tag inside his jacket bears a Finnish name, but when he regains consciousness he has no memory &, even, no language. A consciousness devoid of context, he begins, with the help of the the doctor on the hospital ship riding at anchor, to gradually learn or re-learn the Finnish language, in the hope that memories will be triggered, & he will be able to rediscover who he is, or was… Combining elements of the archetypal psychological thriller with poetic musings on the nature of national & individual identity, this debut novel has garnered superlative reviews, both for its own intelligent exploration of language, identity & myth (Marani is a linguist by profession) but also for Judith Landry’s seamless, pitch-perfect translation. Another gem mined & brought to light by the wonderful, small UK publisher Dedalus, this novel deserves a wide audience. Weaving serious themes & questions about identity into a gripping, Borgesian narrative, this is intelligent holiday reading for the discerning reader. ...
